Listed by the publisher as “shoulder girdle – kinesophics”
The instructor guides students through unusual arm and shoulder configurations while sitting cross-legged. By placing one arm in the crook of the other and rotating or sliding the limbs, students explore the mobility of the shoulder blades and rib cage. The practice involves various finger-holding positions and reaching movements to clarify the organization of the upper body.
